   ### Describe the enhancement requested
   
   Hey,
   
   Currently when you call `CommandGetTables` with `include_schema = true` the 
message you get in return contains schemas, and each field on these schemas may 
contain couple of different metadata properties: type name, scale, precision, 
etc. What's missing is column remarks/comment/description -- for example, when 
you use [JDBC to retrieve columns for particular 
table(s)](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html#getColumns-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-)
 the API allows the drivers/databases to return remarks in the `REMARKS` column 
of the result set.
   
   Would it be possible to add a `ARROW:FLIGHT:SQL:REMARKS` metadata property 
to the `CommandGetTables` contract to allow retrieving column descriptions?
